Sixty-five million years ago a big rock reshaped the life of the planet and nuclear winter disappeared 97% of all the different identities in the biosphere. Side question. Doesn’t it seem a little coincidental that just the kind of species that could prevent a reoccurrence of just such a calamity would evolve? Don’t worry so much for the biosphere and just kiss the polar bears goodbye. Humans have never fixed anything until it was broke. We have made laziness an art form. Automatic dishwasher and even the homeless vets will be playing with the remote control today. Work on the tan and don’t sell those winter coats. There is also a fairly good chance that the Yellowstone calderas will explode cooling things a tad. Vote John Edwards. Screw him!</p> Dinosaurs reigned 160 million years.

When I was born I was dying they gave me like one in a thousand chances to survive, the pediatrician took over cut me open and saved my life, and he was my doctor until I was well into my twenties, When I was a kid I had a connection to him without knowing what he had done, and even when I was older I wouldn’t go to another doctor. I loved that man, his name was Dr. Wishropp.<br /> Good stuff eh Hoser</p> Steve

Remembering my days of drug use speed would calm me down somewhat, I would feel completely at peace. Wow that’s a revelation.</p> Weird Steve, our bodies are a mystery that keeps unfolding.

Last week he had such a bad episode that he had to go to the hospital, my ex and I have shared a house on occasion bu8t right now she lives in a town 13 miles away and we have come to the decision that she should move back so I can be around him more. I am sorry to put this stuff out there but I saw the comments and had to say something, I could use a little help with information and experience if that is possible, if not, I completely understand, you don’t know me from adam. He has adhd, and probably some related things going on, he is a smart beautiful little guy and I do not want him to be destroyed by this system we have. Okay I will cut this short, here is my email address if you want to reply, again I will understand if you don’t want to do that.<br /> wbfree at bendcable dot com</p> Demi
